] JUDGE COOLEY IS reported as saying
in reply to an inquiry why the Inter-
state Commission apparently had &c
eompIished so little in the way OF re-
dressing grievances against the railroad
companies, that "the Commission is
4aboring under difficulties of which the
public is ignorant The Commission
had done all in its power to correct ex-
isting evils, and if it did not succeed in
giving entire satisfaction it was simply
due to the fact that the law was not
clear on many Of the points raised.
Hssty action on some of the questions
might have resulted in much greater
dissatisfaction than that caused by the
slow and careful consideration given to
those subjects. Many of the cases
brought against the railroads by ship
pers were not presented in such shape
as to give the Commission an Cppor-
tunity to act intelligentIy. Many of
the abuses in raiIrOa management
and alleged violations of the law, which
were continually being ventilated in
the newspapers, were not brought to
the attention of the Commission by the
proper parties, and the Commission
could not possibly be expected to take
action unless proper charges We're pre-
ferred and substantiateI"

Steady Growth and Prosperity Ofthe Eur
ling on Insurance Company.
The Burlington, Iowa, Gasptte, Of
Oct. 9Th, commenting on the falling of
and dull condition Of trade generally,
says that amid the com plaluings OF hard
times it is gratifying to find zone repre-
( sentative institution that can cheerfuly
/ contemplate the operations Of the year,
/ and such q fortunate exception to the
/ general rule was discovered by the Ga
zstte ambassador in a recent visit to the
home Office Of the Burlington Insurance
company"
The report of an interview with Presi-
| dent Miller follows, In which It is shown
| that up to September 80, the premium
receipts of the Burlington had increased
! 1913, 400 40 over last year at that date,
while for the same period the losses had
! decreased S7.002 ~, an exhibit which
| Mr.. Miller stated was as satisfactory to
! the company as If the receipts had in
/ creased 100000 and the losses kept
/ pace with those Of 1886.
"Is there any trdth in the report that
the company is Rbout to increase it's paid
up capital stock to S2OO,OOO.OO?" in
/ quired the Gazette man.
! "Weli," said Mr.. Miller, al am not
| quite ready to talk about that yet, al
though it is true that not long since We
held meeting at which some Of our
! stockholders advocated an increase Of
the cash capital to S3OO.OOOOO. But the
management has always opposed any
great increase Of our capital stock, be-
heVing that We now have ample capital
to meet all the requirements Of the very
conservative business We do. However,
it was decided at that meeting to in
crease our capital stock 20 5000 600 CO.,
paid up ID cash and the additional $780,
10000 was subscribed by our old stock
holders and is now subject to our call.
We can call it in at any time, though, as
I said, We are in no hurry to do so, al
though the money is ready and waiting"

The following mention Of the stone

Of the Stone city, and for the informa
tion Of our patrons:
considerable attention has been at.
tracted to the stone deposits near
Buffalo Gap, and several sales are now
being negotiated. The most importan,
of these is the one being engineered by
Robert A. Little and Frank Kimball
who are now III Chicago. There are
others, however, in which parties from
Rapid City and Buffalo Gap are inter.
esled, and it is now said that two sales
one TO Philadelphia parties and one to
DreXel and Fall, of Omaha, are all but
closed. The Omaha firm is composed
of men of long experience in stone

Silver and Nickel.

Messrs. Scott and Griffis are the own
ers of u lode bearing silver and nickel
which is attracting considerable atten-
tion at this time. The lode is located
one mile northeast of this place, and
has been undergoing development, at
intervals, since last summer. A shaft
has been sunk to the depth Of SO feet,
from the bottom Of which a cross cut Of
IL feet has been run without encounter
ing wall. The probable width Of the
vein is 20 feet, and the certificates of
assay, which we have personally seen
and read, would indicate a mine of great
value, and if located in Colorado would
doubtless create a stampede. The high
est assay for silver was made by III. w.
Jansen of Rapid City, professor OF
chemistry and mineralogy in the school
of mines at that place, being 49l
ounces per ton. The next highest as
say for silver was made at the Argo

Smelling works in Colorado, being l473
ounces. Another assay made by Prof
Dickover in the assay Office Of Booth q
Webster in this city gave l07 ounces.
A recent assay made by Prof. Jansen at
Rapid City from ore taken from the end
of the cross cut, gave nearly two per
cent Of nickel
1t would appear that between the
walls of this lode there are two distinct
characters Of ore, bearing two different
minerals. 1t has not yet been determin-
ed whether the silver and nickel are
combined in the ore. ore exist separate
ly. but in any event the presence ofboth
minerals in the body of the vein is well
established, and in such quantity as to
justify the belief that this peculiar mine
will eventually attain prominence. and
be source of great revenue to its for
tunate owners.

Favorable Mention.

Lauren Dunlap, in his biennial report
As Commissioner Immigration an statis-
tician, makes the following favorable
mention of the Black Hills:
"The binding of the railroad to Rapid
City, coupled with the assurance of an
extension of this line on further around
and into the Hills, and the building at
an early day of other lines of railway,
has fairly brought the attention Of the
country to this, the richest corner of
the kingdom, an area Of little more than
5000 square miles, and yet world in
itself, posessessing every variety OF
mineral and other resources, which as
yet remain largely undiscovered to the
world outside"

About the first Of January the Butte
County Star changed hands, John ii
| King, the former proprietor, going to
| Minnesota for the ostensible purpose of
transferring the paper to John q.
White, the new proprietor of the paper.
During that visit Messrs. White and
King negotiated with Mr.. Hall for his
ranch of 100 acres, lying on the west
side Of Redwater, one half mile from
the present town of Minnesota, paying
$25 down, with the privilege Of taking
the property at S2,l00 before the 18th
of January. An arrangement was also
made with A. A. Choteau to include
sixty acres of his land in the new town
site. On last Saturday Mr.. King re.
turned to Minnesota and closed his
bargain with Mr.. Hall, and transfer of
the property was then made. On Mon
day Of this week party of SURVEYORS
came on from Rapid and in SHOW and
storm have been busy surveying the
land and plating a townsite. As a
matter of course there is some excite
ment over this matter. Mr. King SAYS
he will not say that the railroad will
positively build into the new town or
that they are interested in the matter,
but putting all things together, the
dashing move in the midst of winter
certainly looks like business.-Times.

A Family Town.

Custer is clearly family town. Nc
town in the Hills with corresponding
population has so many resident fam
lilies. Children are the rule, and the
woods is full Of them. Other towns
claiming double the population, have
scarcely half the number. Now what
does this distinctive feature indicate
1t means simply this; that the residents
Of Custer have unlimited confidence in
the future prosperity Of the place that
her healthful climate as indicated by a
lower mOrtuary record than any town
in the west can show, is being apprcciat-
ed that her surprising scenery lends a
charm to her surroundings which is
irresistible that her pure, sparkling
mountain water, which is nowhere on
earth excelled, is inviting, and that
such rare combination of attractions
as are here presented, cannot fail to
stimulate the desire upon the part Of
visitors to bring their families, and
settle permanently on this favored
spot

What Does II Mean2

This week there was consumated an
important transfer OF property. The
Northwestern Express, Stage and Trans.
portation company sold to a Sturgis
party, representing an eastern syndi-
cate, the property now occupied by
them as a stage Office, barn and corral.
1t is probably one of the most valuable
pieces of property in Sturgis. The price
paid was ten thousand dollars. The
important part of the transfer, however,
is in the provision that the company is
authorized and granted permission to
use portion of the premises by moving
the barn back, for period Of five
months, after which all is TO be vacated
and the company to retire from the
road. In other words, the Northwest.
ern company has received notice
official probably, that the Sturgis ex'
tension of the Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley road will be in running
operation before the first of July. Such
indeed, can be the only construction
placed npon the desired clause in the
contract. allowing the company to retain
possession of the office, barn and ware
houses only for period of five months
or, as Col. Carpenter stated: -Four OF
FIVE months" 1t will be seen that the
alleged important transfer of the Evans
transportation business was only a
myth, as no freighting will remain to be
done, after this summer.-Record.

TOO MUCH HURRY

Most of the people who go about in New
York city are in hurry. Some of them are
now grumbling because the elevated rail
roads do not run trains enough to suit them
| A reporter who watched and counted during
| the period of heaviest uptown travel found
that there was rarely SO much as two minutes
interval between the trains of five cars each.
The shortest interval was one minute and
| five seconds and the longest was three min
| utes. Only one was go long as that and most
were from one and quarter to one and q
| half minutes. Yet the reporter and his edi-
| tor denounce the company for failing to meet
the demands of the public, and elamor for
! trains with not more than one minutes in
terval.
If things are hurried too much on the ele-
waited railroads of course there will be more
accidents. There are enough already, result
ing from the effort to do more business than
there is time for. The roads have just re-
ceived lesson concerning too much haste
which ought to do some good A Miss Dill
Ion was entering an elevated train and was
about to pass through the door of the car
when the jolting caused by the sudden start
ing of the locomotive threw her down, twist
ed her ankle and inflicted injuries for which
she sought to recover damages. The doc
trine was settled years ago that surface rail-
road companies were liable for injuries re-
sulting from the sudden starting of street
cars when passengers were in the act of
boarding or slighting from them. But on
the elevated roads passengers have been
treated with great carelessness The Judge
in the case charged the jury that after per-
son had started to board an elevated railroad
car he was entitled to an opportunity to en-
ter it before the train began to move, and
that if the locomotive was started suddenly
before such opportunity was given the COM
pany was liable for injuries resulting from
that negligence. The fact, in this instance,
that the gates of the train had not been shut
when the sudden jolt came that caused the
injury he held to be itself evidence that suff1-
cient opportunity had not been afforded the
plaintiff to enter the car
Everybody who has observed the perform
ances at the elevated railroad stations when
trains stop and start will be glad to notice
that it is not legally safe for the companies to
treat passengers in the way they have. The
New Workers who want more trains and more
speed can well afford to think of increasing
their safety instead.
